North Korea fired multiple ballistic missiles toward the sea off its east coast, a move that South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said travelled more than nine hundred kilometres from the Pyongyang area. The launch, reported on Monday, follows a series of heightened tensions on the Korean Peninsula, including South Korea’s first public hypersonic missile test by President Lee Jae Myung earlier this year. Seoul’s presidential office condemned the repeated launches as violations of United Nations Security Council resolutions, urging an immediate halt. Japan’s coastguard confirmed two unidentified projectiles fell into the sea, while South Korea’s military noted the missiles’ range and potential threat to regional security. The incident underscores the fragile balance of power and the ongoing standoff between the two Koreas.
